UPDATED: 12th Dec night out - sign up here!

[hanstands]

I'd love to come if my babe is better by then...xx

[Pickle]

Only two days to go! Come and put faces to usernames (or potentially realise that you've been chatting online to someone you already know without realising it :) ).

[The Nappy Lady]

I am so over excited about the prospect of a night out! :)-D

[sanity girl]

Mr Sanity has just declared that I can go "off duty" from 1pm until 1am tomorrow!! I'm now pondering how I might like to spend the afternoon before joining you all at the pub. What luxury!

[The Nappy Lady]

Go get a pedicure, manicure, massage etc. I say! Or get your hair done...I'll recognise you as the glam and relaxed looking one!

[sanity girl]

Yes, I was thinking of getting my hair done, maybe followed by a visit to TK Maxx!

[lorraineliyanage]

sanity girl - Mr S has given you 12 hours off? I am very jealous!!

[sanity girl]

I know. It's an unheard of, never happened before and will probably never happen again situation. I think he's feeling bad because he sleeps in the morning and works afternoons and evenings in the week and wasn't around much last weekend so has hardly seen our daughter for about 10 days!

[lorraineliyanage]

well that's an incentive to have a monthly EDM night out so you can get your twelve hours of peace and, well.... sanity!

[The Nappy Lady]

Had my first 'proper' night out for about 2 years last night....Hubby put both kids to bed and I swanned off into town to meet up with some old work mates. It was fab, though I must admit I was home and in bed by 11.30pm....feels like a nice 'warm up' for Saturday night - I even managed to wear a pair of high heels!

[Pickle]

Don't forget, tonight's the night! Dust off a pair of heels and come and join us. I'll be there by 8pm, don't leave me alone in a pub looking like I've got no friends :) I'll be in a red strappy top (my one top that doesn't look too "Mumsy") and dark jeans, and have short dark hair.

[candj]

Won't leave you alone Pickle, I too will be there as close to 8pm. Thankfully, I know what you look like so won't feel like too much of an idiot (with no friends!).

[lorraineliyanage]

I'm just putting the wee one to bed then will be there. Pickle, have you dyed your hair? Am sure you were blonde last time I saw you at Leapers :)

[Pickle]

Children/finances/shortage of time mean I haven't dyed it Lorraine, so I was blonde, but am currently sporting my natural colour for the first time in about 20 years!!

[Fuschia]

Nice to see everybody! Sorry i couldn't stay long! We'll have to make it a regular event.

So how did it all go??Bet you had fun.I wished I could have come but it was last night with my parents ,they went back to my country after staying with us for 3 months so was not in the mood really,but will not miss the next.

Cheers to all XX Sam

Lovely evening ladies. Nice to see you Pickle, Fuschia, Lorraine and Molly and meet some new people as well. Thanks for arranging Pickle.

See you all in January for 'project descend' !!

Best,

Great evening and thanks to Pickle for organising. Really nice to put faces to (user) names and look forward to next time! The only thing is I now have two names in my head for everyone - their real ones and their user ones, v confusing!

ps wasn't delighted that baby boy got up at 5.45am today - at least was my husband's shift though! I was later 'rewarded' by a dirty nappy leaking all over my p-js, why is it on the one morning I'm a wee bit hungover that this kind of thing happens?!

[lorraineliyanage]

yes it was good to get out and meet up with everyone, thanks for organising, pippa (dark hair suits you!)

Looking forward to getting a date in the diary for the next one

[Pickle]

Can you believe this is the first chance I've had to come on and post... unheard of for an addict like me :-$

Really good night, thanks to everyone who came along - nice to catch up with those of you I already knew, and to meet a lot of new faces. I made it to my concert today with no problems (although admittedly a couple of painkillers were required this morning, but nothing too drastic!).

And I jinxed myself by talking to Lorraine about the fact our heating is stuck on - of course now our boiler doesn't work, hubby has had emergency plumbers out, and we're facing the week without heating/hot water while we wait for a part. Grrrrrr.

Now we just need to get "operation descend" underway, 8th Jan (I think, need to check the main board) - put it in your diaries now ladies!!

Would love to see more of you next time.

[lorraineliyanage]

Want me to lend you an electric heater, Pickle? Or the woodburner on wheels?!

I had quite a headache after 1 glass of wine. What has become of me?!

8th Jan it is!

[Pickle]

Thanks Lorraine - we've got a gas fire in the front room and a couple of little fan heaters, so with those and a few extra layers of clothes I think we'll be OK.

[Fuschia]

WE have oiled filled radiators if you need a loan

[candj]

We too have two large portable oil filled radiators if you need them - you could have one in every room and it would be like you had the heating stuck on again. Just give a shout if you want them, we are apparently going to get snow very soon!

[The Nappy Lady]

Hi all,

Lovely to see you all last night - can you believe I've only just got on line, it really has been a busy day. Thankfully felt fine this morning, and wasn't woken until 5.30am, then managed to sleep on until 8.30am, so fairly civilised (thank goodness).

Pickle, think it is set to be very cold this week if the predictions are correct - I'd take up the offer of the oil filled rads if I were you - where do these things always happen at the worst possible time?
